Fisker has been waiting on A123 to come out of this bankruptcy situation before restarting Karma production, but an exact date is unclear at this point.

Fisker has been having money issues of its own, though, and is currently looking for an investor. Some analysts say the company could be acquired.

Fisker received $529 million in DOE loans in April 2010. The loans were part of a program to progress development of high-tech vehicles, where Fisker received $169 million for Karma plug-in engineering and $359 million for Nina production. The loans were also meant to revamp a closed General Motors plant in Wilmington, Delaware for Fisker EV production.

However, Fisker fell a little behind on its production schedule, and in May 2011, DOE froze the loans due to "unmet milestones." Fisker had only drawn $193 million of it at that point. In October 2012, the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee decided to look into the original terms of its loan to Fisker Automotive, questioning whether DOE will step in to help the electric vehicle (EV) automaker if it goes bankrupt and investors are allowed to retrieve their money.

On top of money issues, Fisker had a few recalls throughout 2012. In March, A123 said it would replace nearly 600 Karma batteries for $55 million when issues occurred. Later, in August, Fisker recalled 2,400 Karmas after a cooling fan issue led to a fire in California.

Uhhh that's called a Red Herring. The topic is the Fisker car. This is not a topic about ALL tax credits. If I were to go on a rant about ALL tax credits, that would be off topic. You're even going so far as to assume I'm in favor of all other tax credits, simply because this topic comes up so much. It's not MY fault the DT writers come to this subject so many times is it?

So yes, your post is all about twisting my words. Stop projecting things on me, stop demanding I go off-context, and just debate the issue.
